Seriously, I reformatted my laptop about 6 months ago. For some reason now the computer freezes up and goes slow. Just saving a file took 5 minutes and took up all the CPU. Then suddenly I got the blue screen of death. No one could help me and someone said that I needed to reformat it again. So...

I honestly don't know what high density means. I'm assuming it's bad, right?

Cool, saw a couple on newegg. That's awesome, thanks for all of your help people! I'll have to keep a mental note to avoid Ebay, for some reason I always turn to that site for things I need even though I know I can get better deals that are more trustworthy at other sites.

Sweet! That's awesome, now I just have to buy it.

What would be a good brand? I see some on ebay for cheap prices that would be compatible for my laptop. I have a Inspiron 9300 and the max that it can have is 2G.

I don't even know what Crysis is, so I guess that has absolutely no bearing on my decision. Like I said, I'm not a big time gamer, all I do is play Warcraft on Sundays.

I've been wanting to upgrade my old laptop's RAM from 1G to 2G. It's a Dell Inspiron 9300. Does it make any difference if I buy cheaper RAM chips from another site, or should I just buy the ones from the Dell site that actually is a Dell RAM chip? Would the performance be any difference?

Sorry, I do mean World of Warcraft. Cool thanks for letting me know, everyone says that you need such a high level of a video card to play games, I wasn't sure. Plus I'm told that you need an actual gaming computer to play any game, which I thought was weird since my old laptop is like 3 years...

My company gives me a discount on Dell computers, so I figured I'm finally gonna replace my old laptop. I was looking at video cards and I'm so confused as to which ones are better than others. I saw that Inspiron Notebooks can have a 256MB NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT card. I'm not a hardcore gamer...

It's XP. I don't know what the problem is. I have the latest Flash and DivX. It's like it'll play for 2 seconds and then just stop.

Videos won't play on my laptop for some reason. I can't play youtube videoes or anything. It'll load but then it'll stop after 2 seconds. Does anyone know why this happened? It was working fine before I downloaded a bunch of updates from Microsoft.

I have Windows XP and everything was fine until suddenly a file came up missing ending in dll. Basically a guy at Geek Squad told me that I had to reinstall. Now I reinstalled with a cd that someone lent me. It worked for 3 days and now today I start my computer and windows loads to a black...

So is that something that needs to be done on a regular basis?

I have a Dell Inspiron 9300 laptop and I just reformatted my harddrive and installed XP SP2 (I've always had it, but the system crashed and I had reinstall.) I put on Avast and Adaware. I downloaded all the drivers and Real Player and Divx. Everything was going great and playing great until I...

I've been having problems with my PC for a while now. One of the things is that the screen is freezing slightly whenever a video is playing or my mouse moves across the screen. Anyways, someone asked me if I've Flashed my BIOS. What does that mean?

Go to the task bar at the bottom of the page right click and click task manager. Then look at the processes tab. Ok, so I just realized, that when I installed XP, it didn't ask for my product code or activation code, is this a problem?

No, the svchost.exe is 99. I know the System Idle is suppose to be 99. Maybe this is because I only have XP Pro SP1. I tried downloading SP2 from their site last night, which I was able to do after 2 hours but when I tried to install it, it just froze for 6 hours in the same spot. I had to...

Ok, so I've had big problems lately with my laptop. The CPU usage was going through the roof so I accepted that I probably downloaded a virus or something. I took it to the Geek Squad where I realized that all they did was reformat the harddrive with XP Pro, which I could have done myself. Well...

Sweet, got it. You guys are awesome!

Ok, my computer has been running awful since I took it to the Geek Squad to re-format it. Everything is going so slow, and I looked at the Task Manager and it said that the CPU was at 100% because of svchost.exe System taking 98776 K. It's listed 3 times, with the second svchost.exe System...
